  The Songdowon International Children’s Camp (the “Camp”) is a state-operated institution directly created, maintained, and controlled by authorities of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). In that capacity, the Camp participates in organised programmes involving the transfer of Ukrainian children from temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine to the DPRK. Those programmes are implemented in coordination with actors linked to the Russian Federation, including through Russian state-affiliated youth initiatives and through occupation authorities, which facilitate the selection, movement, and participation of the children. The Camp provides reception, accommodation, and structured programming for participating children under the framework of purported “cultural exchange” initiatives. However, those programmes serve a broader propagandistic function, as Ukrainian children are exposed to curated narratives and activities designed to promote pro-Russian narrative.
